@diapolon do you also experience that smart clock is rebooting after a while into launcher and you need to manual start Smartdash again? ---

Waited for the download and tested it. But same result. With HomeyImage → no image (only your warning sign) With VirtualCamera → the image (the qr-code) is showing ---

Suggestion to solve the image issue. Extend the existing VirtualCamera widget with some new options: - Option (radio button) Static or Dynamic - If **static** is selected: - User can fill in Url like the current behaviour, OR - User can select from your new “Image Id” dropdown. If user selects an Id, the Url (existing field) will be generated automatically - Disable (read only) “Image Owner URI” dropdown and disable Url if “Image Id” has been filled in - If **dynamic** is selected: - User can select from your existing “Image Owner URI” dropdown, the Url (existing field) will be generated automatically each refreshing cycle, based on the found Image Id related to “Image Owner URI” - Disable (read only) “Image Id” dropdown and disable (read only) Url Advantages of this solution could be: - Usage of proven technology of VirtualCamera with Url - No extra widget like HomeyImage needed - You can check if the image path is right Refresh of Virtual Camera image and url id dynamic option has been chosen: - each refreshing cycle (in minutes if activated) - SmartDash app startup - app reactivation (device screen goes on) - if possible and nice to have: click/tap on image in end user screen will refresh immediately Perhaps needless to say, but Url consists of: - Local Url defined in SmartDash Setup → Homey pro: replace dots with hyphen. **NOTE** : on my device only a http **s** works and not http. In my case [http://192.168.2.40](http://192.168.2.40) becomes [http **s** ://192-168-2-40](https://192-168-2-40) - Concatenate this with fixed part **.homey.homeylocal.com/api/image/** - Concatenate this with Image Id found above, in my case **67e0a7bd-4b67-4836-8858-c84da7ed6021** Finally the url would be in this example: ```auto https://192-168-2-40.homey.homeylocal.com/api/image/67e0a7bd-4b67-4836-8858-c84da7ed6021 ``` I hope this can contribute to the solution. ---

Yes the problem is the http protocol, if you use connection by cloud it should work, or using https local, Need to enable unsecure protocol for use http direct link (with android is possible, with apple not) ---

I can solve the http problem, i have two solution for it, the first is reading the image with the library with i make the connection at homey and return the data in base64 and the second enabling the http protocol by code. The first method work in all platform but use more memory because the image is loaded in memory. The second should work only in android ---

Is the current option for VirtualCamera widget with an Url (http and https) working on Android and Ios? If yes, I would pick this solution. I do not have enough technical knowledge for giving an answer on protocols and base64 solutions. ---

Not, virtualcamera has the same problem if you use an http url, is the os that block http protocol ---

I would say, use the steps from [[Pro][Dashboard][Android][iOS] SmartDash - a dashboard for Homey - #1158 by Amersfoort](https://community.homey.app/t/pro-dashboard-android-ios-smartdash-a-dashboard-for-homey/83385/1158) . It is an extension of the existing functionality, and it will work like the existing VirtualCamera. Give it a chance.
